Spiritual Corner of Your House - Prayer area

 Spiritual Corner of your house - Prayer area

Wisdom from the Banks of Mother Ganga by - H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji

"I always say, 'If you never want to be cornered in your life, have a spiritual corner in your heart and in your home.'

We spend so much time and energy designing and decorating our rooms and offices. We have beautiful bookcases for our books and photographs. We have spacious closets for our clothes. If our body is tired we can get into bed or take a hot bath. But, where is the place for our hearts, our minds, and our emotions? Where is the place where we can go to be replenished and rejuvenated?

That place should be the spiritual corner.  If we live in a large, spacious home we might be able to dedicate a full room as the 'prayer room' 'meditation room' or 'breathing room.'  However, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have that much space. The quantity of space is not what is relevant; only the quality is.

The spiritual corner should be a place filled with any and all objects that bring peace to your mind and heart. If you worship God in any particular form, you can have images of that form. If you do not worship God in form, then you can put things there that connects you to God spiritually, such as flowers or candles.

The spiritual corner should be kept only for spiritual practice – for meditation, Japa, puja, introspection, relaxation, breathing, silence, etc. Over time, you will see that the vibrational energy there will come to be different from the rest of the house. The place will be 'charged.' As soon as you enter the room or sit in that corner, your entire nervous system will undergo not only emotional and psychological changes but physiological changes as well. The energy will be calm, serene, and tender."

Steps To Make a Vastu Friendly Pooja Room

 

Steps To Make a Vastu Friendly Prayer Room

The most sacred and auspicious area of the house is a prayer or pooja room. The place where idols of Gods are placed, religious texts are stored, and where all the Godly belongings are located. One may ask, why separate room for Gods when they reside spiritually everywhere? The simplest and the most immediate answer to this question is, by creating a pooja room, we are creating a space for positivity, an aura that will revitalize the environment, mind, body, and soul.

This place brings a soul near to enlightenment and allows you to make peace with the world. A pooja room


will enable you to meditate, pray to God, thus creating a holy atmosphere. Little do people know about Vastu Shastra for
pooja room, they think only the placement of idols of Gods is important. But one should understand that a wrong placement or incorrect direction can bring bad luck to the house residents.

 So how do you create a place completely filled with positive vibrations and which will only work for the progress, prosperity, and peace of the people living inside? For detailed information, you can always contact an expert. Some of the rules regarding the Do’s and Don’ts are listed here. Keep reading further.

 The first and the most important step for making a Vastu compliant pooja room is to locate the pooja room in the tranquility zone. The best direction as per Vastu Shastra for designing a pooja room is the Northeast corner of the house. But if you have space constraints for that direction, you can also design a pooja room in the East or West direction of the house. 

Few other points to be considered are:

       Construct a pooja room on the ground floor;

       For factories and big plots can have a pooja room near the northwest zone of the plot.

       The auspicious direction for keeping the idols are East and/or West direction of the pooja room;

       The idols should be placed a few inches away from the walls of the pooja room;

       The idols should be in perfect condition when placed in the pooja room. A damaged image or idol should be avoided in the pooja room;

       If the pooja place has doors and windows, they should be in the north or east walls;

       If you are planning to have a marble carved prayer room, white and yellow colored marble work is considered auspicious;

       Light colors like white, light yellow or light blue color is best suitable for a pooja room;

       While making the roof, create a pyramid-shaped roof for the pooja room;

       While placing an Agnikund in the pooja room, have it in the South-east corner of the house;

       Make sure that you face east while praying.

       Place auspicious Shree yantra duly blessed in the temple for peace and prosperity in the house.

Shree Yantra

 Few other points that should be avoided are:

       Do not have the pooja room in the south direction;

       Avoid the pooja room in the storeroom of the house;

       It would be best if you do not make a pooja room in any of the bedrooms of the house;

    Avoid having the pooja room in the basement area, you can always make one on the ground floor and avoid going beyond the ground floor;

       It is not auspicious to have a pooja room under the staircase. This is a major vastu defect.

       Make sure that the idols you keep are not facing the south;

       Do not bring idols from the old temple.

    Do not place the broken idol inside the pooja room of the house;

       Ensure that the pooja room doesn’t share the walls with the bathrooms;

       Images showing war, or anger should not be placed inside the prayer area.

       Dustbin near the pooja room reduces the positivity;

       Do not place any extra storage  items in the sacred place;

       Avoid sleeping in the pooja room.

 If you believe and have faith in the Vastu Shastra, follow the points as mentioned above, Happiness and Prosperity are bound to come at your doorsteps.

Vastu for Prayer or Pooja room (Temple)


Vastu for Prayer or Pooja room or Temple room

One of the important areas in any home is a zone of tranquility, a prayer or meditation area. According to vastu, North east corner zone is best suitable for the prayer room or home temple. This is a place that brings us closer to our Creator. It can be considered lifting one’s mind and heart to God. Here we can talk to God about the everyday things of human life, about our joys and sorrows, our needs and wants, our disappointments and pleasures.  Prayer space serves as an escape from the chaos of modern hectic life.
Prayer and how an individual prays is often shaped by religious beliefs. But one does not have to belong to a specific religion to pray. Prayer offers us an opportunity to commune with our Creator, draw on the revitalizing power of the Word of God, and to contemplate and more deeply appreciate our lives. Prayer is an important part of everyday life.

Tranquility zone is a means of helping people attain inner peace in this crowded and busy world. It works by creating an atmosphere in which the mind, body, and spirit are soothed and made tranquil.
Best time for prayer can be at every early morning or evening, a thank you for a good day, for the warmth of the sun, for love of friends who support and assist us even on our bad or difficult days.
This is a space where human-made problems are left behind like a wet umbrella at the door.
If you do not have the space to allocate an entire room for pooja, you can set up a small temple on the east wall of the North-east zone of the house.

We all have a room for eating, sleeping, playing, cooking and meeting. What about a sacred space in the home, which is more important than above activities.

In this article, we would like to share you a few important things to consider when planning a prayer space.

Important things about prayer room vastu:-


  • Deity or image of God should be positioned in such a way that devotee faces east while praying the god. West is the second best location.
  • Place water in the copper pot in the northeast direction of the prayer zone. Change this water daily.
  • Light or Diya can be placed in the southeast corner of the prayer room.
  • Photographs (pictures) of the dead/ancestors should not be kept in the prayer room.
  • Keep this room neat, clean and clutter free.
  • Use prayer area or reading but avoid other activities like checking your phone or computer, playing games etc.
  • This room should be strictly used for prayer and meditation.
  • If you are distracted or isolated, prayer space can reconnect you with God. 
  • Due to a shortage of space, some house has small wall temple kept in the bedroom or kitchen. The small curtain should be placed in front when not in use.
  • Temple should not share the wall of the toilet of the house.
  • Keep rosary, spiritual books, meditation tools etc. which will automatically invite you to a spend good time in prayer zone
  • It is auspicious to keep a Meru Shriparni Shri yantra duly blessed in the temple. It is believed that goddess Lakshmi Ji (goddess of wealth)  is always present in the shriparni wood.
  • Being a cool zone, place a marble Kalash containing water, silver swastika &  half round pearls
  • Playing a spiritual or meditation music in the prayer zone smooths your soul.
  • A pyramid wish box  containing yantra  becomes more powerful when kept in the temple or at the northeast
  • Crystal shankh or Black agate tortoise is a powerful symbol for career or business luck when kept in prayer zone
  • Temple should not be placed under the toilet of the upper floor
  • Avoid south door for the home temple
  • Do not provide dome on the top of  the temple
  • Temple can be made in wood or marble. Avoid glass or metallic temple in the home
Yes, God listens to our prayer
